Vanilla Zoo Yes, it is a remake of About Adam with some differences.First, I think the director did a better job because most of the people I know understood it better than About Adam. About Adam was too "Woody Allen-ish" for most of the UK viewers. In fact, some of the US viewers did not get the ending at all.The Korean title was a bit obvious but it helped the viewers understand the ending better. Together with some of Korea's famous actors/actresses, the film was a sure hit.What I really loved about the two films is that lead actresses apparently sang in each version.
rf_gibson2002 Is it just me, or is this a remake of About Adam with Kate Hudson and Stuart Townsend? I was watching the Korean movie the other day and the plot seemed very familiar - one handsome and charismatic guy charming all three sisters. It took me a while to remember the About Adam movie because I saw it on an airplane years ago, but the clincher was the wedding scene. It was exactly the same as in About Adam. If I remember it correctly, one of the sisters in About Adam is also married and Kate Hudson's character worked in a bar as well. Does anyone know if the writer or director of the Korean movie gave any credit to the writer of the original movie?
zoe_smith I will watch any movie that stars Lee Byung Hun because he is the most handsome Korean actor, and he does actually have genuine acting ability. However, this was a movie in which he wasn't really allowed to reveal his range of acting skills, and is largely a disposable movie which will probably be long forgotten in years to come.This movie essentially fits in to the current Korean fad for 'romantic comedies' with added inspiration from the U.S. series Sex and The City. (In fact, I couldn't really see why this movie wasn't just made as a TV production rather than wasting good money as a movie format.) The lead actor played by Lee Byung Hun plays around with 3 sisters of very differing personalities. We get to see him pair up again with the actress Choi Ji Woo, who plays one of the sisters. Previously, Lee Byung Hun had starred in the highly successful TV drama series Beautiful Days with Choi Ji Woo. In that drama series, Choi Ji Woo played a very quiet, ailing, angelic figure. It was therefore quite surprising to see her play a comic role in Everybody Has A Secret so well. As a result, I thought Choi Ji Woo's character was the strongest in the whole movie, and not only that, but even perhaps the ONLY personality in the movie. Everyone else was a rather two-dimensional cut out figure. I felt I couldn't really care about the fate of any of them overall. In fact, by the end, no character has achieved anything worthy of note. I couldn't even possibly remember any of the character's names, too. That says a lot for the impact of the film.I think this is only a movie for die-hard Lee Byung Hun fans or for someone who desperately needs to get through a rainy afternoon. It's purely an excuse to ogle at him for an hour or two. It's not a movie about acting standards. Anyone who knows Lee Byung Hun's reputation amongst Koreans as a 'player' will start to wonder how much they see on screen might ironically be some reflection of Lee Byung Hun's real life. That was the only thought that remained with me after the movie finished.
Aditya The story is about a man who meets the youngest of three sisters and then ends up influencing all of their lives in the most charismatic way. He tries his best to uplift their spirits by giving them closure and a friend. This is by no means a lewd flick and has a lot of class in the field of direction and acting. The ending fits the movie but not many people may like it.This is a definitely worth a watch but don't expect it to be anything to the tune of "My sassy girl" which in my opinion is the best romantic movie to come out of Korea in recent times. This one however has very good acting from LEE and CHOI with good support from rest of the cast. The flavour of the movie is of the typical Korean romance flick but needs to have a much more solid script which goes helter-skelter from time to time.a 7/10 at least. Thank you
